Dr. Carriere is one of the best doctors we have ever seen. He’s knowledgeable, kind, easy to understand, takes his time, and answers all your questions.
Once past the receptionist everything was great . Dr was efficient but not rushing me out. The receptionist either needs more help or a chill pill.
Dr. Carriere, as well as his staff and Alexis, were caring... they all listened, were attentive to my questions, and happy!!
Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He takes time to listen.
Excellent Doctor and team was very helpful and friendly
Dr carrier and his team were very professional. Thanks to them for that.
Dr. Carriere is always great. No long wait times to be seen. When he enters your room, he takes time to make sure you understand what may need to be done and why.
Today the stand out among his support team was Alexis. I have a few procedures coming up and she explained the how & when along with all the joys of prepping for a colonoscopy.
The support team is full of stars. Alexis was my MVP today!
I didn’t leave my appointment feeling nervous, anxious or confused. I left the way we should after any Doctor’s visit.
Calm, informed and prepared for everything that lies ahead.

Dr. Carriere jr. Was polite, concerned about me. I was seen quickly.. he took his time with me.. he has a great " bed side manor". I'm glad my PCP referred me to him ... Been seeing him for round years now...I'm very pleased with him and his staff.. job well done!!!!
Excellent experience for colonoscopy..from arrival to recovery...
